Any time we are in a toy store my kids grab the stick horses and ride them around. I decided to make one for Samantha and it ended up as a unicorn.
I didn't follow any pattern on this one, so there are a few kinks, but Dax's dragon turned out much better.
I am currently working on a TaunTaun for Philly, and I'm guessing that will be the best of the three just because I figured out the mistakes on the first two. For all you lay people, a TaunTaun is basically an intergalactic camel in Star Wars, but this one smells much better. :P
Luke Skywalker on a TaunTaun. Yes...I'm a HUGE geek.
I'm rubbish at writing out patterns, I basically crocheted the heads in a round, made the features and sewed them on, and stuffed the heads. I painted one inch dowels and hot glued the heads to the dowels. To cover the mess of the hot glue I wrapped it with ribbon.
Isn't great that we can all get along??
The brave Dax goes in search of a quest!
The pics were taken with an iPod. I REALLY need a new camera! (Hint to my hubby).
My fancy princess with her newest friend.
My kids love their new toys and I had a blast making them.
Thanks for letting me show off!
Those are so adorable! You did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, really love the dragon one, I mean, people usually go for horses and unicorns but this one is awesome! You could put a little tail! :D
Good luck with the tauntaun, I'm a huge geek myself so I can't wait to see the final result!
I LOVE these! We have one horse, and it is always a "thing" (you know what I mean..right?!) when one kid pulls it out and the others all have to wait. I am so going to try this! I'm going to pin it too--so cute!!
ReplyDeletePS. Where did you get the 1" dowels?
